No, you are only required to have a Commercial Pilot License therefore, you are only required to have a second class medical.
The BE99 is less than 12,500 Max Takeoff Weight so, a type rating is not required.
The 1900 and Metro are over 12,500. Getting qualified in one of those will get you a type rating (as will the EMB-120).
